Drivers are advised that Highway 97 is closed to traffic in both directions between Salmon River Road and Monte Creek (62-kilometre stretch).

To ensure public safety, the South Fork Forest Service Road, near Cherryville, is closed to all vehicle traffic until further notice, due to concerns about the stability of the road bed and washouts, as well as damage to the Yeoward Creek Bridge.

A new median barrier separating northbound and southbound traffic will be installed along a stretch of Highway 97 in Vernon, improving safety for motorists by preventing cross-over incidents.

The upcoming construction season will bring safer travelling conditions to an important route linking the Okanagan to West Kootenay, as two projects get underway on Highway 6.

Following the results of an independent third-party safety study and extensive community engagement, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is moving forward on improvements to the Highway 97 and Stickle Road intersection north of Vernon.

Improved lighting at three intersections in the Township of Spallumcheen will increase safety for motorists and pedestrians in this rural Okanagan community.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites you to attend an open house to provide feedback about proposed boundary changes to Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park in the North Okanagan.
